This guy might be the one you're looking for.

I cried when I read his biography.
So there's still a clean "politician" in this filthy, corrupted world!

We need more people like him running the world.
My favourite part was this:

“I am a servant of society. I was elected to work for the people’s welfare,” Joko said. “It really never crossed my mind to hit, scold or force [street vendors] to do anything.”

He didn't forget the original purpose of his position.
In Malaysia, those that won in the Election are called Wakil Rakyat, meaning People's Representative. They supposed to be the voice for the people in his place to the Government.


I believe there a more good politicians out there, but sometimes it's the bureaucracy that tied them down from doing what they're supposed to do, which is, work for the people.

 

[Neo-Exile]

Yup. Even the world acknowledge his work. He even became a candidate for Jakarta's Mayor election in 11th July. A lot of people are rooting for him, that much I know.

Bureaucracy, eh...? :/

Hmm time to find more people who werent trained to be a politician but ended up as one due to other reasons? xD

That's not so hard. The problem is with the people(at the higher level) that support him/her. You see how most politicians have people that have connections with big companies support/backing them? These are the people we need to watch out for.

President Eisenhower did warned the US citizens about the military industrial complex(those big companies that manufacture weapons and their cronies). Now we see these people are backing today's politicians.

*You can read about the Military-Industrial Complex here.
**I think we drifted from the topic again.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Dont we always?

Hmm but of course they support the president =.= The large half of america's economy goes to the army...

 

[Darklitearch]

At least we have something to cheer about since ACTA is essentially crushed by Europarl.

[Ghost Kitty~]

Oh yay~ Death to acta~

 

[renano]

It appears people are taking note about the who voted for ACTA to make sure they won't be elected again.

Still, it's a victory for now.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm yes quite a long list at the bottom... well theres also the fact that the 400 or so who said no might have done so for their own interests... :/

 

[HatoriTakaya]

Naturally when you remove one, another seems to appear in its place. But yeah, I have to agree that there's tons of people who doing it for their own interests. Even though they were elected to represent the people.

 

[alexsdu]

If I'm one of the politician, I still vote No. You could say that I did it for my OWN interest.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Yes cuz since it wasnt going to pass you could probably get elected again easier if you voted no but you could also lose some of that bribe money and support which people who were neutral could probably get~

Well check it out

Apparently a group of dudes got arrested for writing a simple guide on how to copy DVDs and removing DRM protection in which 4000 copies have been sold. What do you guys think?

What bribe money? I'm an honest person, most of the time.
If I'm not, I wouldn't need to DL anime & games from here or using torrent.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm just random stuff that may have been going through their heads :/

 

[mydoujin719]

It wont happen just like the sopa and pipa bill everyone shall rise and protect their rights and love.

 

[Uninstall]

But it already passed (・へ・)
Though again, I wouldn't worry about it.
